Adelaide 2006 comes to mind!

You didn't hear Nasser quoting Ludacris' Game Got Switched.

Adelaide 2006 comes to mind!

or adelaide 2003, in both cases the team batting 3rd lost the game.
took 2 special bowling performances from Warne and Agarkar to win the game.

probably more than a few tricky overs.
england won't feel safe till they score more than 200 runs and even then it depends on how many wicket fall.
England might not feel safe with 250 depending on how many overs left.

200 will take 2 sessions. not enough time to score.

if SA need 200 runs to win with 35-40 overs, they will go for it.

after the elation of the first day and a half, this test match couldn't have gone worse

Blimey just seen Bavuma get his hundred, didn't really notice him much in Durban. He makes Taylor look like a giant!

Stats say he's 5 foot 6 inches. Don't believe that for a second, I wouldn't put him much over 5 foot.

[Arthur Crabtree]

During the first Test, the commentators said he was shorter than JT.

SA's demarkation of its citizens is absolutely crazy, and a product of the insanity of apartheid, but for what it's worth (hopefully very little) Bavu was SA first black African centurion. I guess it matters in so much that SA still operates a quota system.

So, I guess he still is....

[Gingerfinch]

He'll be feeling 6 foot tall tonight.

Was Ashwell Prince mixed race?

He'll be feeling 6 foot tall tonight.

He seemed a bit uninterested in it all.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not black African, I presume.

They say short batsmen make good batsmen.

Match heading for a draw...but today meant much more than that to South Africa. Great article by Scyld Berry on it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricke ... ember.html

Yeah I was trying to work it out.
